I find it interesting how often men respond to a post with "you are making a bunch of assumptions," then can't intelligently articulate the assumptions they claim that you have made and why those assumptions are contrary to either the exegetical, historical, or grammatical facts. I think folks just throw this line around as a fancy pants way of saying, "I like my opinion better."

The Son of God Who became the Son of Man, was the Stone that the Father ordained from before the foundation of the world, to be the Bedrock upon which our faith is to be founded. He is to be the centre and circumference on which forgiven men and women must be securely anchored, for to Him has been given all honour and glory, might, majesty, dominion, and power, forever and ever, amen.

Let us not allow ourselves to be overtaken by surprise like the unbelieving world. Let us recognise, from the prophetic Scriptures, that the coming Day~of~the~Lord is fast approaching ~ which means the Rapture of the Church is even closer, as it happens before the 'Day' begins. So let us be alert and sober and encourage one another, as we see the 'Day' getting closer.
"Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing."

Interesting conflict going on now between Lebanon and the Jihadi forces from Syria. Is this merely bluster and a show of force on the part of the Sunni rebels? Will the Sunni rebels invade Lebanon and take over the nation, crushing Hezbollah (which is Shia)? Or will Israel defend Lebanon against the Syrian jihadist aggression?

It is through believing on the gospel of Christ (which is the death, burial, and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ alone), that we are saved. In Him alone is there salvation to everyone who believes, the Jew first and also to the Greek. Throughout the book of Acts, we see this principle: "To the Jew first and also to the Greek," being fulfilled in
Paul's ministry. But today, the gospel is to be preached to Jew and Gentile alike, for all have sinned, all fall short of the glory of God, and all need the gospel of Christ: "Which is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes on the Lord Jesus Christ."

Redemption Testimonies - From Chasing Fame to Following Christ

https://www.youtube.com/live/dENXNQB4FUw?si=ZfvSUV5ZYbmu9Uuw

Jesus Christ is THE Way. 
Jesus Christ is THE Truth. 
Jesus Christ is THE Life.

Let us ponder this magnificent truth and seek to grasp the enormity of what it means, for the one who is saved by grace through faith in Him. May the truth of this simple yet profound statement permeate to the very core of our being so that our troubled heart will be stilled and our joy will be full, and may we be willing to share the good news that Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life, with whomsoever the Lord may place in our path.

3 Jn 1:11, "Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God."

Join us tonight (Mon, Jan 6) on the Christopher M Brock channel for a discussion on why I believe in a pretrib rapture. Program starts at 9 Eastern, 8 Central, 7 Rocky, 6 Pacific. This should be an interesting and illuminating conversation. Chris isn't convinced of the pretrib rapture but is open to the question.

There is a distinction between the apantesis of the parousia and the parousia itself. For those who engage more with real research and less with soundbites, they soon discover that parousia was a semi-technical term for the arrival of a king, and apantesis was the term used for his subjects going out to meet their king and accompany him in his royal entrance (parousia). The rapture is the apantesis that happens before the parousia, which is the second coming proper. We go up in Rev. 4:1, we are in heaven in Rev. 4-5 before the first seal is opened. We come down again in Rev. 19.

I believe in the prayer of faith. I believe that some have more faith than others. I believe that God still answers prayer and works powerfully on our behalf when we pray with his glory and his work in mind. But I do not believe the "declare blessings" version of faith. This is part of the word of faith movement which misrepresents biblical faith.
